I loved the drop in co op mode on Saints Row 2, and I keep sniggering at the thought of joining someones game armed with a giant rubber dildo!

I will pre order Ico and Shadow on you guys' say so. I am also thinking about Bioshock. Would I be disappointed (graphically or whatever) if I picked up the first two, or would either of you recommend 1 over 2? Or vice versa?
.

Are you telling me you have never played Bioshock matey ,graphically Bioshock today is better than most games and its has some of the best water effects i have ever seen.

The first Bioshock is the best because it was new and fresh so the second one does not quite surprise like the first instalment

Yea I put the High Voltage mod on nearly all my weapons haha! I have just found a new one as well which I think I got at level 30 called Old Smoky which is even better than the High Voltage, it's epic!

I agree with T2D, if you like a lot of exploring, picking up loot, upgrading and repairing weapons, levelling up, quests etc. then you will enjoy it. If those things normally bore you, still might be worth giving it a crack anyway, I can't stand games like Fallout but because Dead Island is zombies and it's got a lot of gore it makes it a lot more fun when you do fight

2nd is pretty much wrong all over, after playing the first you'll see why it works and why the 2nd doesn't.

Ico and shadow are two games that are on a different playing field to everyone else, theyre very memorable and enjoyable games and don't require crazy skills to get them done, theres not many other games out there in comparison, theyre true adventures.

I bought the original fallout 3 and like you Jaxx within a few hours the novelty wore of and i became extremely bored with the game,Dead Island is a similar type game but i enjoy this a lot more and i find it far more intense and exciting than Fallout 3.

As i have said before patience is not really my thing and if i come across a quest or challenge than confuses me and 1 hour later i am still trying to work it out in a game like Fallout 3 then thats it for me and the game quickly gets traded.

I have had a few similar problems with Dead Island but i really like the game,take the collect juice from 2 petrol garage mission and i think you know where i am going.

Actually once you have cleared the area of 1 petrol station and drop in through the roof window you can actually load 2 juice cartons from there,but on your return the guy keeps asking you have you checked both petrol stations.

I must have spent the best part of 2 hours last night with this task and whatever i seem to do even after going and retrieving juice from 2 stations i still get the guy telling me have you checked both stations.

So because i have the main quests and about 10 other side quests going and a map on screen that is not exactly user friendly i have decided to delete the save and start all over.

Thats a typical frustrated T2D and that is what i do when something goes wrong,since i was not that far into the game i intend to only have the main quest and a side quest running instead of the amount i had before,this way i can concentrate better on the task in hand.

Some will say that after spending 6 hours or more on a game then deleting a save in frustration is a bit pointless but hey ho thats me and its no big deal because its a great game flaws and all.

And both the HD versions are a Snip

You are meant to put the juice cartons in the garage, not take them to the guy, did you not see my earlier post? I made the same mistake, the guy just kept saying go to both petrol stations even though I was standing in front of him with the juice cartons. Then after about 10 - 15 mins I looked around downstairs in the garage where the truck is and there were 2 flashing "ghost" boxes that I could slot the real ones into and the quest could then be handed in! There are a few quests like this in the game where you need to place boxes in certain spots and they can be a bit confusing!

In regards to side quests, I just fill up my book everytime I hit a new safe zone / town / village etc. so I just pick up all the side quests at once so you have a good 5 - 10 in your quest log then I just go through them in order of closest to me (by selecting them then checking distance on minimap). Then once I have exhaused side quests in that area I do a few more main quest missions then do the process over again! Argh I want to go home and play now all this talking about it

Ok matey once i get on to the petrol missions i will not get so frustrated,saying that the first time i grabbed a carton of juice i thought to myself you must be able to load it onto the back of truck,time and time again i chucked it on only to find it was not there when i got to my destination.

Then i realised you place it with the x button as there are ghost boxes for it like you mentioned with the juice.......[silly me]

Yea, it's a bit glitchy though to be honest mate so probably not your fault, sometimes you will throw a box on and it just disappears! Other times you may throw it on and it just freezes for about 5 secs then its on the floor again or the worst is where you try to pick up a box and it keeps doing the motion over and over like a stuck record lol the glitches at least make it interesting
